Both normally open and normally closed volt free contacts are available on the field terminals. This
allows the SOFTA to be used in energised to trip and de-energised to trip configurations. .
The two relay output channels are arranged as quad redundant, fault tolerant structures. Failure of any
one relay or contact will not affect the load, or the ability to control the load.
Load current feedback to the T8442 Speed Monitor is provided for each switching path on each
channel.
Speed Monitor Output Field Termination Assembly (SOFTA) is a DIN rail mounted
TM
T8442 TMR Speed Monitor system.
Force guided contact safety relays are used. These allow the T8442 Speed Monitor to detect welded or
stuck output contacts via the contact status and load current feedback from the SOFTA.
Each relay, fuse and current-sensor can be replaced in situ.
Features
• Two online tested, fault tolerant, volt free contact output channels
• Each output can be used as either a normally open or a normally closed contact.

2. Assembly
A single Trusted T8442 TMR Speed Monitor interfaces with three T8891 SOFTA assemblies.
A single SOFTA assembly provides the relay switching elements for one over-speed output and one
over-acceleration output.
For each output channel, an isolated Hall Effect current sensor is connected in series with each of the
two parallel contact switching paths. The outputs from these sensors connect to the T8442 via the
TC801 field interface cable and are used for relay contact diagnostic and fault detection purposes.
Force guided contact, safety relays are used on the SOFTA assembly. The physical properties of these
relays ensure that welded primary contacts can be detected by monitoring the auxiliary contact status
signal. The contact status signal is passed back to the T8442 via the TC801 field interface cable for
diagnostic and fault detection purposes.
The output contact can be used as a normally-open (de-energised relay) or a normally-closed (deenergised relay) contact for connection to the field load. They are electrically isolated from all other
signals on the T8891 SOFTA and T8442 Speed Monitor.
For critical shutdown applications only the normally-open contacts should be used.
Power, relay drive, current sense and contact status signals all interface directly to the T8442 via the
TC801 field interface cable.
